James,

Very nice! Do you use a local supplier for a piece of granite that size?

One more question. Where would I look locally for a piece like that?
i.e. What type of business am I looking for. Quarry, landscaping,?????

Justin. That piece of granite came from a granite countertop dealer. A lot of granite shops will give you there cut-outs from sinks if you ask them, to them they are scrap. I bought this piece because I wanted them to polish the edges.

Is that "real" granite, or a Corian / limestone material?

Yes I Have several sources, What you are looking for is Absolute Black. Your local tile or countertop dealers should have what you need. I get mine from my Dal-Tile distributer.
